HP 16510B, 16500A manual Base Pop-up Menu

5Base The Base fields allow you to specify the number base in which you want to define a pattern for a label. The Base fields also let you use a symbol that was specified in the Timing Symbol Table for the pattern. Each label has its own base defined separately from the other labels. If you select one of the Base fields, you will see the following pop-up menu. Decide which base you want to define your pattern in and select that option.

One of the options in the Base pop-up is ASCII. It allows you to see the

ASCII characters that are represented by the pattern you specified in the

when the base is ASCII. If you touch this field, the message "ASCII entry not available" appears. You cannot enter ASCII characters directly. You must specify a pattern in one of the other bases; then switch the base to ASCII and to see what characters the pattern represents.
